Later that night, Stolas is in his royal chambers as he sits on his bed and reads a book. Stolas is rather excited but is also anxious. It's been over two decades since he has seen Blitzo, and now, he might actually be able to see him again. However, he's also worried that he might not remember, especially after 25 years have passed. Just then, he hears knocking coming from his balcony. Stolas places his book down, walks over, and opens it to reveal Zak, all dressed and ready to go.

"Hey Stolas," Zak says.

"Good evening, Zak. I'm glad you made it," Stolas says.

"Don't mention it. Anything we can do in order to see our old pal, Blitzo again," Zak says.

"Yes, but I'm a little nervous. I hope he and the princess won't mind us coming over out of the blue," Stolas says.

"Don't worry, I've got everything planned out," Zak says. He then asks, "So then, are you ready to go or what?"

Stolas nods his head, "Yes," He then uses his magic, "Allow me."

And with that, Stolas uses his magic to open the portal that leads to the bottom of the hill where the Hazbin Hotel is. Since it's night, the lights at the hotel are off, and everyone is most likely asleep or simply staying in their rooms.

"Now let us go," Stolas says.

"Nice shortcut," Zak says, and hops through the portal.

Stolas walks through the same portal before it closes behind him. And soon, the pair find themselves looking at the Princess' hotel at the top of the hill.

"Still amazed that you can make portals that will get us there in a matter of seconds," Zak says.

"Indeed," Stolas says.

"Well then, let's get going," Zak says and begins walking up the hill.

"Um Zak, where are you going?" Stolas questions.

"What does it look like, we're going to sneak into the building and find Blitzo," Zak says.

"What?!" Stolas reacts in shock. He quickly rushes up to Zak and says, "Zak, we cannot simply sneak into the building. The Princess of Hell is staying there. If we get caught, you and I will be in some serious trouble."

"Well, I don't want to risk running into the Radio Demon at the front door. You were able to see that commercial Blitzo was in for the Hazbin Hotel, Alastor is staying there too," Zak says

"All the more reason to not break in," Stolas says.

"Who said you're breaking in?" Zak responds, "I'm going to sneak inside and explore from the inside. You, however, will stay right here until I give you the message to let you know if I find Blitzo in the hotel.

Stolas sighs as he shakes his head. "Alright, you go inside and explore around. I will, however, search around from here. I might be able to find Blitzo's bedroom. But please be careful, if anyone sees you, you could be in serious trouble."

"I've snuck into places during my job all the time. I got this," Zak says, and begins his mission to sneak inside the building.

Stolas sighs and mutters to himself, "I'm already regretting this idea."

Stolas then begins to follow Zak as the imp reaches the hotel wall. He places his back against the wall and checks the window to find one unlock so he's able to open it easily. He then climbs through the window and closes it soon after. Stolas soon walks over to see Zak looking around to find no one is around. Zak then begins to slowly walk up the stairs and down the hall as Stolas watches from outside.
